I loved the vintage feel, but did not have the vintage buttons like they did😦 I found some great buttons at my local Walmart for about $5. The bobby pins run about $3 and I just used some thread from my sewing kit!

To start off, I made a pin with stacked buttons. To do this I just took a smaller button of a contrasting color and just wrapped thread around the two using a sewing needle.

Then, we will attach the buttons to the bobby pin. You will use the same technique as we did to attach the two buttons, wrapping the thread around the bobby pin and through the button holes. Wrap it until the button is secure.

I had some trouble with the larger button staying secure, so I used glue to hold it in place. Hot glue or super glue works well and dries clear.

Hello everyone! I’m Allison and I am so glad you decided to visit🙂 Let me just give you a bit of background on this blog and what it’s about!

The name, Let’s Button Up, stemmed from my love of buttons. I love all kinds, especially the unique ones you find in weird places. I was looking online for something I could make with all the ones I had and there were A TON of ideas. Therefore, I decided to write this and post pictures of all the crafts I make that use buttons!

However, I also love other crafts, so every now and then, I will post some ideas for other crafts you might enjoy!

*I would really like your input, so if you make a craft that you find here, feel free to post pictures or tell me what you did differently. OR if you have other suggestions for crafts you would like to see I would love to hear it.

*I will keep all crafts and INEXPENSIVE as humanly possible because I am a college student and I know that many of you reading this will be as well.
